Wilson Isidor strike proves decisive for Sunderland against Fulham

Sunderland claimed their first win of the season as they edged out Fulham 1-0 thanks to Wilson Isidor’s goal, just days after he signed a new contract with the Black Cats.

Brought off the bench midway through the second half, Isidor rattled the post when it was easier to score before converting a similar chance with 15 minutes left at the Stadium of Light.

The 26-year-old’s finish in the same week he committed to Sunderland until 2030 ensured the Wearsiders claimed their first win against the Cottagers in six matches, stretching back to December 2017.

Regis Le Bris’ side started their campaign last weekend with a last-gasp defeat at Ipswich, where former Sunderland winger Jack Clarke scored the winner, but they held on here to claim victory.
